I can't help with any NSW or QLD records but thought as I have done a little German/Prussian research I'd throw in a few name variations for you to try.

Fritz is the nickname or affectionate name for Frederick or Friedrich
Diedrich's could also be Dietrich or Dittrich
Platt could have been Platz (a name I've found in my family tree book).

Regards,
Sashar

Hi Turramurra

Fritz DIETRICH arrived 'Rutlandshire' May 1873 His age is given as 'C' meaning child.  There only 10 names on the Vic Shipping List. Ref: B 318 001
I'll check this on sunday when I go to the Library.

Reginald served in WW1 & WW2.  There is no mention on Albert on his enlistment papers only his mother.

According to Electoral Roll information. 
Henrietta PLATT, daughters Edith CHAPMAN & Caroline HARRISON were living at St John;s Ave, Gordon in 1936
Edith's occupation was given as proprietoress.

Another son Ernest Arthur PLATT (couldn't find his birth) lived at 32 Carlton Cres, Summer Hill in 1930.  At 78 Carlton Cres, Summer Hill lived Elizabeth, James & William Kindrell PLATT (Could this family be related)  Henrietta lived at 115 Carlton Cres, Summer Hill with Caroline HARRISON during WW1.

Can you tell us what Fritz & Albert's occupations were?

regards


Genni
